– mother? Well… That being said, I haven’t been in touch for a while. However, there were often cases where there was no contact for such a long time. That period was also erratic.
At Ivan’s answer, I nodded slowly.
“Yeah, I’m busy and I’m sorry I called.”
– What are you busy with? First of all, I will try to contact you. And when I get in touch, can I tell you right away that you have something to talk about?
“That’s right. Thank you for understanding.”
– Why do you keep saying thank you? Rather… Is there anything else you need my help with?
At Ivan’s question, I slowly turned my head and looked to the side.
There, I could see Choi Hyun-woo, who had a blank expression with his head down halfway, and Han Soo-young, who was comforting him by his side.
I lowered my voice and whispered.
“… Please comfort Hyeonu-na later.”
I hung up the phone with those words and immediately called Alice Blesbuck and Cass Lyle.
However, seeing me texting the two who did not answer the phone no matter what, Sbangali muttered as if teasingly.
[The day you go is a market day, so it’s just that.]
Those words reminded me of something I had forgotten for a moment.
Sbengali.
Up until this point, this guy had talked with Milited together when talking about the Seven Evil Bells.
And I clearly remember that I said that he had once formed an alliance with Milited.
If so, it was said that he at least knew about him to some extent.
‘Sbangali.’
[Well? what’s going on.]
‘About Milited… Anything is fine, so tell me everything.’
[Suddenly tell me everything.]
‘hurry. Because I’m serious now.’
Sbengali seemed bewildered at my words, but a quiet squeaking sound was heard as if clearing her head.
Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-woo, who was right next to him, stood out silently holding the sword he was holding.
“Hyunwoo, what do we do with our Hyunwoo… .”
Han Soo-young was hugging him, crying as if he understood Choi Hyun-woo’s feelings, as if he was about to burst into tears.
Then he gently patted him on the back, as if to soothe him.
She knew his heart, so even though she was shocked, I sighed quietly as I saw her worried about Choi Hyun-woo.
In this situation, the young female prosecutor named Hyun-ah they knew could not tell the story of their teacher, Nam Hyeon-hwa.
It was when he felt miserable at his own pity that he left only a vague warning to her how to deal with this situation and to be careful.
[…] Milited was a strange man indeed.]
Sbangali suddenly started talking.
[As I said before, each of us, the Seven Devils, said we were afraid of death, right? But, to be precise, rather than death, I was afraid of dying without achieving what we wanted. … Well, it was thin and he was really afraid of dying itself.]
Even in the midst of this, he made a snapping sound while he was taking down Margo.
[For me, creating a world that I can control, and for Minerva… Well? Yes, in the past, he said he wanted to meet his rival and pour out his power. But you already have Juno and Venus… Oh, okay! I’m sorry, my apologies! I sincerely apologize. okay. Those two are not rivals… .]
Maybe even talking to Minerva, Svengali muttered to herself over and over again.
[Hmm, the story is a bit short. Anyway, back to the point… Yeah, Milited was special. He was similar to me but different. If I wanted to create a world that I could control, he wanted to control the world. To be precise, he wanted to control the principles and truths of the world that were applied to him.]
Sbangali paused for a moment when I asked what the hell that meant.
[Say it easily. The way to kill us is to attack with the power of the same Seven Evil Species, and an object that is given the right to kill us… In other words, taking our weaknesses and attacking them. These are the only two ways. Other than that, you can hurt, but you can’t kill. But Milited was extremely loathing for this temporary immortality. Not that I might die like Margot, I was angry at the fact that I could die.]
“… … .”
Does this guy not know the meaning of talking easily?
As I was thinking about it, I heard a groan as if in agony.
[okay… To explain a little more, even the natural flow of time was an object of anger to him. Creatures that have reached the end of their lifespan die, cuts with cutlery get hurt, or objects dropped from high places fall to the ground. After all, he was a tired man who mumbled that he couldn’t understand all of that. Sometimes when the madness subsided, I was calm, but most of the time I acted like a madman.]
Sbengali, who had been talking up to that point, made a clattering sound and clapped its beaks.
[And their men were crazy as well.]
It felt like a crackling sound echoed in my ears.
[The only things I can remember are lichs, vampires, dragons… Yeah, there were spirits and werewolves too. Anyway, there were more bastards, but now there are only three in front, right? The spirit betrayed and the werewolf died.]
Just right.
the sound of beaks clashing.
[No, wait… .]
He murmured in a low voice as if he had realized something, as if he was worried, and then suddenly spoke to me in an urgent voice.
[Hey, hey. Please listen carefully and think about it!]
“What, what?”
Surprised, I spit the answer out of my mouth without realizing it.
However, Sbangali did not even respond to my answer and continued speaking.
[If you were Milited’s children, what would you be willing to do other than get rid of you, the biggest stumbling block?]
‘Aside from getting rid of me?’
[okay. Besides getting rid of you.]
‘I will do my best to make Milited’s dream come true.’
[Yeah, that’s right. But in order to make that wish come true, I must get rid of you and take the pendant and Minerva’s heart from you. Of course, there are many other things to do. So, anyway, what other method do you think you would choose to do all of that other than weakening your power?]
he muttered quietly.
[Remember what a woman named Jin Ye-seul said over there, something creepy. They tried to make contact with a force called the Big Watch. Why did you do that?]
At his words, I murmured as I felt something cool riding down my spine.
“… He must have been trying to increase his power.”
[okay… .]
“yes?”
Sbengali groaned at the words that I muttered without realizing it.
In the meantime, Han Soo-young turned her head to look at me as if puzzled, but she didn’t even have time to pay attention to it.
[Yes, it may be irrelevant, but they are the ones who preferred to push with an overwhelming force from the beginning. And now, his power has diminished to the extent that it cannot be compared with the past. On the day they meet their master again, even considering their face and the owner’s feelings… They will try to increase their power in order to easily fulfill their wish. So, who is the easiest to increase power among them?]
“Lich, Necromancer… !”
As I was speaking up to that point, a few words quickly flashed through my mind.
rich.
Necromancer.
A technique to resurrect the dead.
A world where everyone is dead.
Another world.
Han Soo-young.
A building turned into a dungeon.
Yeouido.
“… dry.”
It sounded right.
It sounded like he was saying it was right.
As if proving that my conclusion was not wrong, Han Soo-young’s face, who heard me right next to her, was also colored with astonishment.
* * *
I had to do a lot of things in a short period of time.
Esmeralda Listenerger immediately contacted Lydia and asked her to confirm that none of the information she had obtained about a building that had taken place in Yeouido that had been turned into a dungeon due to Margo’s abilities, and at the same time asks for permission to enter there. demanded
The building, which had become a half-dungeon with Margo’s ability, was declared a dangerous area even though the dungeon had disappeared and the surrounding area was controlled.
Next, contact Lee Myung-jun and briefly explain the situation, and he can immediately fight the Necromancer.
In other words, he handed over a request to send a few personnel, including the paladin Laura Hartmann, in a hurry.
He also asked Alice Blesbuck to share this story if he reached out to him.
… To be honest, I thought he would reject the other Ten Gangs without knowing it, but it seems that he had built a lot of trust in them without knowing it due to the Minerva subjugation.
As soon as the preparations were finished, they said that they would go to the place I was talking about.
In addition, we were driving down the road in Shin Woo-seok’s car, which Ye-eun Lee urgently called.

Of course, our destination was Yeouido.
When he got out of the academy, he probably had a story to tell because he came out half-assedingly, holding the certificate that Rev Dunkinson had given him.
“Whew… .”
I know it’ll be a problem later if I act this way, but now wasn’t the time
Like me, Jin Ye-seul and Choi Hyeon-woo, who had broken through Margo’s dungeon together in the past, noticed the seriousness of the situation and seemed to take it seriously.
In fact, the two of them were each doing maintenance or checking the armament inside the car.
In particular, in the case of Choi Hyeon-woo, it was to the extent that he had turned his sadness into a fighting spirit.

On the other hand, Ye-eun Lee and Yu-na Lee would have been embarrassed enough because they didn’t know anything, but they followed our words without saying anything.

Of course, I was quite shocked to see how other people, especially Han Soo-young, were restless, not knowing what to do.
“Sorry, can’t we go a little faster?”
In response to Han Soo-young’s training, Shin Woo-seok skillfully drove the car.
“I’m sorry, miss. This is the best. We will try harder.”
At Shin Woo-seok’s words, Han Soo-young made a dissatisfied expression and started chewing her lower lip.
[As I peered into your memories, I also saw that the girl who destroyed the other world grew up.]
Then Sbangali quietly opened her mouth.
The girl who destroyed the other world he was talking about was the sound of Han Soo-young.
[You and the undead of those around you, the corpses of the Ten Rivers… And the legions that were scattered beyond counting… .]
Sbengali wriggled in her right hand as if to calmly calm down.
It was then that I realized that I, too, was trembling a little.
[They all turned to dust and disappeared. The woman’s body too. In the first place, Margo’s dungeon itself was a kind of ability to create a different world, so the dead there also disappear. Milited’s children will never use the corpse.]
‘But the morale and energy remain.’
I knew that fact because I had played as a Necromancer before.
no… Rather, I wondered why I had forgotten about it until now.
Sbengali did not seem to have any intention to deny my objection.
[right. But she was in your memory… Yes, to put it simply, it could be called one of the Seven Evils. Maybe it was enough to put up a fight with Minerva, Juno, and Venus. There is no way for any being to handle the morale and energy left behind by such a necromancer. The same goes for Richie.]
At the boy’s encouraging words, I smiled a little and nodded my head.
Yeah, if you’re too nervous for nothing, it’s not going to happen.
Above all else, haven’t I achieved a level of growth that cannot be compared to the me at that time?
Reassuring myself like that, I quietly patted Han Soo-young’s hand as if to calm her down.
“… ah.”
Han Soo-young’s hand, which was trembling as thinly as me, was startled for a moment, then calmed down.
Then, after a while, her hand started patting mine instead.
“… … .”
“… … .”
So the two of us patted each other’s hands without saying a word for a while.
* * *
‘… It hurts.’
Although he did not express it, Han Soo-young felt a burning sensation as if a part of his forehead had been burned.
In the past, it was the place where he kissed himself from another world and said that he might feel bad because it was the blessing of a Necromancer.
